Thanks for the information. I have looked into the meaning of "Shangdi" and it is usually translated as "Emperor of Heaven" which by implication means "God". But I had never heard of "Tao" before. I am very much interested in this subject. Can you recommend any books I can get to learn more? Or should I just read the writings of the philosophers you mentioned?
Also, if I may ask, are you a Muslim? If so, are you a convert? If you are not a Muslim, why not? |

As-salaam alaikum. Thanks for the recommendations. I will certainly look into them.
Since you accept the Islamic creed, I guess the next relevant question is do you actually practice Islam as your religion? Do you believe that Islam is the only religion that God (Tao) will accept now that it has been revealed. The Quran states that the prophets who were sent in the past were sent to their own people. Muhammad (pbuh) on the other hand was sent to all mankind, so Islam is a universal religion. Also, taoist has raised some objections to some of your claims. I would be interested in how you respond to them, since this is your area of expertise. |
